Randall Industries is a premier Australian owned structural steel and architectural metal fabricator with a legacy spanning more than 30 years. Based in Dandenong South, Victoria, the company has developed a reputation for excellence in delivering high quality steel solutions that cater to a diverse range of clients.
Through their skilled team of professionals, the use of advanced technology and sustainable practices, the company has remained competitive and sought after. This tenacity and approach to constantly evolve is something that has been embedded in the company culture since it was established more than three decades ago.
From humble beginnings, Randall Industries started as a family business with a vision and goal to deliver superior steel fabrication services. The company has grown exponentially over the years, not just in terms of staff but capabilities and product offerings.
Embracing technological advancements and sustainable initiatives has helped Randall Industries to stay at the forefront of the industry. The company constantly explores innovative processes to stay ahead of the game, while providing quality and customer satisfaction. Randall Industries state-of-the-art facility is equipped with the latest machinery and technology, enabling the company to deliver precision engineered steel components and structures that meet the highest standards of quality and safety.
Focusing on many of Melbourne’s core infrastructure and commercial projects, Randall Industries has been instrumental in the completion of a variety of projects, from large scale commercial works to intricate architectural structures.
Landmark buildings and complex infrastructure
Notable projects include the structural steel framework for landmark buildings in Melbourne’s CBD, custom metalwork for prestigious residential complexes, and infrastructure projects requiring precise engineering and execution.
Randall Industries’ recent work on the $63 million Frankston Station Precinct Redevelopment helped to transform the bayside suburb, improving public transport accessibility. Randall Industries worked on the main canopy steel structure, platform canopies, entrance frames for the passenger information displays, access platforms and light poles throughout the platform.
In 2020, Randall Industries contributed to the Melbourne Airport T2 Retail Expansion project. Costing approximately $8 million, the modular airside expansion created new mixed-use spaces for passengers, complementing the existing upgraded amenities.
Using innovative modular techniques, the project was carefully executed to ensure minimal impact and disruption to the bustling airport terminal. The frames were constructed offsite at Randall Industries and then transported to a separate indoor section of the facility where subcontractors undertook all the base build fit-out works.
The modules were then transported to the site and craned into position and were used to help with the structural support of the redevelopments. A highly collaborative project, it was a great success that took 53 weeks to complete.
A heightening emphasis on sustainability
According to Randall Industries general manager Jacob Lawrence, “Meeting emissions targets and achieving regulatory compliance is now essential to continue our success story.”
As part of the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, Randall Industries has recently achieved certification with Steel Sustainability Australia (SSA). This certification is a significant milestone for the company, demonstrating its dedication to sustainable practices and compliance with stringent industry standards.
Developed by the ASI, the SSA certification program evaluates sustainable steel suppliers by examining their environmental and social impacts. This comprehensive best practice framework allows for broad industry participation and standardises sustainability measures.
The SSA program verifies upstream raw steel manufacturing mills and certifies downstream steel businesses such as distributors, fabricators, roll formers, and reinforcing processors, against best practice environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators.
Recognised as an approved initiative by the Green Building Council of Australia, SSA certification provides Green Star projects with Responsible Product Values, enhancing the sustainability credentials of certified steel suppliers.
Jacob views SSA as a vital tool for maintaining and promoting Randall Industries’ sustainability credentials. “Our management policies have been updated with SSA requirements, we are using steel from SSA-certified mills and we now make sure our stakeholders have a clear understanding about SSA benefits and requirements.”
“We also keep SSA certification in mind when we choose subcontractors and suppliers,” Jacob said, emphasising the comprehensive approach Randall Industries takes towards sustainability.
The SSA certification not only reflects their commitment to environmental stewardship but also positions them as a leader in sustainable steel fabrication.
Jacob had some advice for other businesses considering the program. “The SSA program is a great initiative for creating a carbon emission-free environment. Participating in this is beneficial for ensuring a healthy environment for future generations.”
“It helps to create best practice and healthy sustainability standards in the steel industry.”
By complying with SSA standards, fabricators ensure that their processes and products contribute to a more sustainable future for the industry,.
Looking ahead, Randall Industries remains dedicated to innovation, sustainability, and excellence. The company’s SSA certification exemplifies its proactive stance on industry challenges and commitment to continuous improvement. Randall Industries will continue to invest in cutting edge technology, building its capabilities, and maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety across all projects.
Randall Industries aims to lead the field in sustainable steel fabrication, setting new industry benchmarks and delivering exceptional value to clients. With a foundation of over 30 years of experience and a forward thinking approach, Randall Industries is well positioned for future growth and success.
